When did it become acceptable to address men as "Mr" and then their First name instead of their last name?

In prison, they call you by your last name as if it's your first. It's to remove individual personification.
Quoting: CitizenPerth™ This is true in the miltary and sometimes elsewhere. IMHO, it's totally unacceptable. Either you're on a first name basis or you're addressed by Nr/Miss/Mrs and your surname. The media have picked up this awful habit of addressing by surname without a title. It's disgusting and also very confusing when they are describing multiple family members. It eliminates the distinction of being male or female too.
